The Marlowe Society has produced this overview Guide to Marlowe’s life and works, which was published in February 2010. It can be ordered online via this website. It is hoped that the Guide will help to generate interest in our poet who was at the forefront of the English dramatic renaissance, and was also a man whose brief but exhilarating life was packed with adventure.

The 24-page publication has been printed as an A5 booklet with many colour images. The Guide covers each key phase of Marlowe’s life, and also contains sections on each of his major plays, as well as providing an overview of his non-dramatic poetry. Marlowe’s life and interests are placed in contemporary context, and there is discussion of related subjects such as Ralegh’s ‘School of Night’ and his work as a government agent.
